Timothy was a wonderful host! He was pleasant and communicative with many great recommendations about what to do in the area. He set us up with a reservation for a tasting at a local winery which we thoroughly enjoyed. The cottage was just as described cute and cozy. It was very tidy and comfortable for the two of us. Thanks, Tim!

HeatherFebruary 2015

Timothy's description was perfect. It is a beautiful backyard and the pond with seating is right outside the porch of the front door of the cottage. It made for wonderful evenings sipping wine and re-juvinating for the next days work. The cottage is indeed small, but suited our needs most excellently. Access to laundry was a real bonus as we stayed for two weeks. Great place to stay. We felt safe, cozy and loved the back yard. We would stay again in a heartbeat if needed.

GiseleFebruary 2015

Tim was a great host and I had the pleasure of joining him at the airbnb host conference in San Francisco the first day, since I am a host in Redlands, CA. The cottage is tiny but adequate for one--it would be very tight for two people and is set on a very beautiful garden. Very nice stay!

GretchenArtDecember 2014

Timothy was polite and greeted us when we pulled up into his driveway. He was very kind to say he we could contact him if we needed anything at all but would let us have our space otherwise. He also provided us with some great restaurant recommendations! A bottle of wine and a basket of fruit awaited us in the cottage. The cottage is quite small but beautifully decorated and fully functional. Hot tub is nice to use but would have liked a little more privacy from the main house.

AndrewJanuary 2015

Timothy has a wonderful and unique place. It was everything listed and more. The layout of the room is perfect for a short or long term stay and the yard area is beautifully landscaped. It Was a Great Stay!

DuaneApril 2015

I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Timothy was very accommodating to our later-than-usual check-in time. The space was incredibly clean, and felt brand new. If I am ever up on this area again, I could only hope to stay here again.

KevinSeptember 2014

This is a wonderful space and Tim was a great host and extremely helpful. The garden and landscaping were lovely. My wife and I had a weekend getaway so we didn't get much of a chance to visit with Tim but the space was immaculate and well laid out. I've noticed no one has mentioned the bed in their reviews and I always mention the bed! :-) The Murphy bed was really comfortable and since our getaways have a lot to do about quiet and great sleep a comfortable bed means a lot to me. We will look forward to staying at Tim's cottage again!

ManeeshMay 2016

Great neighborhood, description was 100% accurate, it was super clean and welcoming! The family was awesome too! So sweet to us and helpful whenever we needed it. Our stay was short but I'm sure we will be back!

ColleenMay 2016

This has to be one of the "jewels in the crown" of Airbnb places. We are on a RTW trip and have stayed in many places in the last 2 months, some have been Airbnb places, others have been hotels. Erin's studio is huge, one could almost live there permanently. There is a full size kitchen, a great lounge area, with excellent Tv and wifi. There are proper laundry facilities, something that we have found useful in our travels. The bed is very comfortable. Everything thing is spotless.....what more could you ask for? Sadly San Francisco is a long way from home, but if we ever come back, this will be our number one priority place to stay.

GeoffNovember 2016

The Meneau family was great! The space was very clean, spacious and exactly what my family and I needed. They welcomed us and were available to anything we needed! My brother left some things behind and we were notified fairly quickly and came back for them. Thank you for making our stay pleasant and comfortable!

AlejandraOctober 2016

Erin and her husband were accomadating and great to work with!

EileenSeptember 2016

It was the best Airbnb place that i've ever seen! Erin was really helpful, room was full of everything that you may need. It was really clean and comfortable. I would recommend everybody to stay there!

TARIKSeptember 2016

It was my pleasure to stay at Erin's place. It's a very clean space with plenty of light in the morning. There are very good amenities in the place. I recommend Erin's place!

YunyiSeptember 2016

This was our family's first Air BnB experience, and we could not be more pleased! This rental sets the bar high for us for sure. We can only hope that any new experience would have the best location, comfort, safety, cleanliness, accessibility, remote peace, the softest bed sheets, and above all friendly welcoming respectful inviting hosts! Some (just a few) highlights we enjoyed: - Location in a nature setting, despite the home being located in a neighborhood, we felt like we were staying in a sort of log cabin in the mountains! We saw a beautiful deer not far from the house driving back into town the first night to find some tasty local food. - The motion sensor night light (we have an infant/toddler and young boy, and midnight bathroom breaks were comfortably and dimly lit. - Of course, the bed sheets and comfy soft bed/bedding in general. Very clean and fresh! Sleep was excellent! If you are looking for a safe quiet place to rest in the trees, look no further! You'll be well taken care of!

About half way between San Francisco and the Wine Country, Marin County is the perfect place to stay and see it all! On the water with use of SUP boards, swimming, fishing and more. Your choice of one of the 2 bedrooms. Comfortable queen bed with high thread count sheets, or 2nd bedroom has a full/double size bed and a full desk area for the business traveler. Two full shared bathrooms available. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, and families.

I had a great stay in the "Sunshine House on the Water". What a beautiful home and neighborhood! Leda was an awesome hostess - super-accommodating in every way. I contacted her last-minute to book a room as I was passing through on a business trip, and Leda quickly responded and worked to graciously get me booked in. Everything was clean and tasteful, and Leda went out of her way to make me feel comfortable and welcome. A great experience - I highly recommend a stay in this little gem of a home.

LindaNovember 2016

Beautiful room and property. The host and family made arrival and visit highly enjoyable. Easy, and great communication with Leda and Rose.

I had a wonderful stay at Shelley's house in Novato. This room was super private with it's own entrance. The house is in a neighborhood but since it is set back on the street and is landscape cleverly and backs onto open space, you really feel like you are out in the country. Shelley had the room prepared with little snacks and teas, and offered me sparkling water. The bed and pillows were SO comfortable! She heated up the hot tub for me. The backyard is so gorgeous. She has really created a beautiful world out there. I like to be left alone at AirbnB's and she disappeared once she showed me where everything was, but I could sense that if I wanted to chat more she would have been available. The room was clean and comfortable and I would definitely return. Thanks Shelley

JessicaMay 2015

Shelley was a great host! She kept things simple and let us be. She also gave me some Vitamin C when I woke up with the sniffles. :) Very kind and personable, and at the same time, gives you your privacy.

RickeyAugust 2016

We had the most wonderful time staying with Shelley at her beautiful home in Novato! We certainly hope to return in the future! The room was private, clean and most comfortable with spectacular views of Shelley's impressive garden. It was blissful to come back and relax in this beautiful place after long fun days in the area. Shelley was beyond accommodating. She even took time out of her gardening to help me track down hairspray so I could do my hair for the weeding we were attending. She made a point that our trip was not only comfortable but fun. The amenities provided made us feel at home and welcome. Our trip was made more enjoyable staying at this beautiful home with an exceptional host!

SophiaAugust 2016

Nice, clean place; my room had a private entrance and a private bath.

CarolOctober 2016

Shelley was a great host for our short stay in Novato. While we didn't get to meet in person, she is very responsive to all inquiries, and the incredibly beautiful house and grounds lend themselves to a relaxing stay. 10/10 would recommend.

DavidApril 2016

Shelley was an excellent host! She was very accommodating and friendly. All the amenities were excellently delivered. Shelley really knows how to take care of guests, as she made us feel very welcomed and feel at home. The room was perfect, the bed was very comfy, and the back yard was a gorgeous and quiet place to relax. I would certainly stay with her again!

ErrolJuly 2015

Our home is situated ideally in the middle of all North Bay area attractions. It is 24.8 miles to the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco. It is less than half an hour from the heart of the wine country, and about half hour from West Marin and the Pacific Ocean. It is within walking distance to shopping and restaurants, and very close to the historic downtown Novato, theaters, and the Vintage Oaks shopping center. Bicycle lanes and walking trails connect all our beautiful countryside.

The original house has been added to and modernised throughout. It is very private, with six foot high stucco walls all around it. It has two patios and a BBQ structure. It has mature olive trees, grapevines, fig trees, an orange tree and a very productive lemon tree. The fruit is free to our guests.
The two patios, front and back yards, are for the use of our guests. Please coordinate with Filitsa, your host, for the use of the BBQ. She lives in the studio across the BBQ. Also coordinate with Filitsa for the use of the washer and dryer in the garage.
The on the premises host is Filitsa. She is a long term resident of Novato and she can help you with information on shopping, restaurants e.t.c. She is an artist. She studied art in Italy, so she speaks italian and greek.

Our home is in a residential neighborhood very centrally located in Novato. There is a shopping center within walking distance, with a hardware store, supermarket, liquor store, laundromat, a nice pizza place/sports bar, post office, take out chinese , a diner, mexican and thai restaurants.
There is a Golden Gate Transit bus stop across the street from our our house that will take you to San Francisco and beyond. There are car rentals near downtown Novato, and a taxi service.

We had the fortune of staying at Basil's home for the night of our wedding. The home was beautiful, spacious and clean. We arrived at the home and the hosts had left us a welcome gift and a bottle of wine which was very thoughtful of them. Everything in the house is top notch.The hosts were fine with my fiance and her bridesmaid getting ready in the house and the house and yard allowed for some amazing pre-wedding pictures. We would highly recommend staying here to anybody.

The host was waiting for me. He orienting me quickly to his home. The description "shared room" doesn't truly describe the room. The guest space is the first floor living room. The 3-4 permanent residents of the townhouse/condo live upstairs, and didn't use the living room at least when I was present. Someone going up or down stairway can see into the guest space, which means there is little privacy. (There is no room divider or screen that might block the view into the guest space.) I saw the host once more during my 4 night stay. The other residents were congenial, but not friendly. In the morning, I was awakened by someone in the kitchen, which is around a couple of corners from the guest bed, at around 7:30 am. The one shower for the home is upstairs, with a sink and toilet bathroom downstairs. Guests must park their car at least a block from the entrance to the home, and further away if they return in the evening during the week. Freeway traffic can be heard because it is about two blocks away. It is easy to drive to San Francisco or points north with the 101 freeway close by. The home was clean. There is a comfortable couch in the living room/guest space. The kitchen sink was almost always full with unwashed pot(s), pan(s) and dishes. The TV in the living room/guest space does not work.

BruceMay 2016

This is exactly what you're getting; no frills, no fuss. Just an awesome place to lay your head, get a quick shower, and move on with your life.

AnthonyOctober 2016

Lovely! Odysseus was a fine host. The bed was comfortable, and the house was quiet. If you're looking for something fancy, go to a hotel. But if you are looking for a good night's sleep at a great price and with a fantastic host, this is a good match for you!

EmilyOctober 2016

Even though its a shares space, had my own space. Host was respectful and provided water bottles.

AshleyMay 2016

The "room" itself was very clean and organized and Odysseus and his roommates were nice. However they partied from 3am till morning, on a Tuesday I might add, basically preventing me from getting any sleep. Everything that goes on upstairs can be clearly heard from the "room" and the bed is hard as a rock. I do not recommend this place if you intend to sleep.

BryanNovember 2016

Odysseus made our stay comfortable and convenient. It was a great stop for me and my boyfriend on our way to San Francisco! Thank you!

MeganApril 2016

I'm going to be very honest...... I have truly enjoyed my stay at Odysseus's place. Time of Stay : I was booked for a week and ended up staying for two weeks. Host : Odyseus is a really cool guy once you start talking to him. For me it was easy because with both are filmmakers so it was easy to make conversation. He checks up on you frequently to make sure everything's cool.....and if you need something or if there's an issue he'll take care of it Roommates : Roommates are cool, but keep to themselves. I met them all (I think?), and only talked with each of them once. Might not be the same for most, but for me it was different because I am not around most of the time. Sometimes they may act like your not there..... I'm not sure if it was a privacy thing, they're zoned out, or they just don't care that your there. In and Out : I knew when I booked to stay that I was only going to be there to sleep. I work really long hours at a video game company so I spent majority of my stay at my job. Your free to come and go as you please (you get a key)......I usually leave around 7 AM and didn't return until around 9 PM on most nights. Sleeping Arrangements : The (living) room is relaxing. The futon (you sleep on) is actually really comfortable (believe it or not), you have two couches, a table, a lamp, and a place to put your clothes. There's also a TV (no cable), and they have a Nintendo 64 (old school) and a Wii (with no damn remotes, which was very insulting to me) Privacy : Very little due to sleeping in the living room. Noise : Depends on the day....... that's all I'll say. Amenities : You have a washer and dryer inside the home and free to use anytime. Free to use the kitchen. You have your own half bath down stairs and there is a shower in the upstairs bathroom. Recommend to Stay for 1 or 2 (no more than 3): Yes (but it depends on what you plan on doing during your stay). Again for me, I only needed this place to sleep. My job provides everything I need expect a place to sleep. So, if you need a place to come rest and sleep while traveling through Novato for a road trip to visit and explore the Novato area then this place is perfect! If your looking for a vacation spot to hang out and chill then this probably wouldn't be the best place for you. Its cool and comfortable, but I'm sure you'll get bored. Overall : It was a great experience. Not the perfect spot, but it is one I am comfortable returning to if needed.

Donte'August 2016

10/10 the most awkward and unsafe airbnb I've ever stayed in! Host did not communicate check in procedures prior to trip, and since I was arriving a bit late I was never sure if this was ok, even when I inquired. Although the host was home I never met him, heard him listening to porn upstairs, and there were house guests walking into and out of the home at night. The behavior was crass and wildly inappropriate.

Located on a secluded acre and a half gated property, The Guest House is a private building with parking. The room is equipped with a Queen size bed and a pullout couch. A pellet stove provides heat while the unique stone shower has dual heads.

I can't say enough good things about Brian, Colleen, and their amazing guest house. Pictures really can't do this place justice. Their attention to detail in every little part of the Guest House makes you feel like you've been transported to another world entirely. The pellet stove is beautiful at night and heats the room very well, the bathroom is inspired and made of a giant wine cask. The bed is incredibly comfortable. Everything is perfect. More than that, Brian and Colleen are gracious, courteous, and hilarious hosts. They make you feel more at home than you do at your actual home. The breakfast they provided each morning was great. More importantly, their homemade wines are awesome, we took home two bottles of Syrah. I couldn't have asked for a better weekend. I'd recommend the Guest House to anyone looking for a quiet and spectacular getaway in NorCal. Novato is also a gem. It's a a beautiful little town that is pretty much right in the middle of Napa, Sonoma, and SF city. Thanks again!

JoeFebruary 2015

Brian and Colleen are wonderful hosts! They are very respectful, funny and caring. Their guest house is beautiful and well thought out. A nice balance of being comfortable and very unique. We couldn’t stop admiring the wood work and giant wine cask bathroom. We had an amazing time and didn’t want to leave. We have another stay booked with them next week and I’m already counting the days.

AMay 2016

This is great room and I like that it is it's own cottage. The breakfasts were absolutely the best! Thank you for the tour of the gardens.

I'm usually terrible and I don't like to write reviews. But in this case, happen to be the birthday of one of my best friends and I decided to plan a girls scape for the weekend and Bed & Breakfast was the best experience for the 4 of us! This magical place was so cozy and welcoming that immediately we got there we were in totally comfort, relaxed and happy. Brian and his lovely wife were the perfect host. Wonderful people!! I totally recommend this place to those who want to scape for a lovely, peaceful & romantic weekend. You will experience all the love this house was made because it's reflects in all the window of this fantastic little home!!

MarthaFebruary 2015

Brian and Colleen are gracious hosts, so fun and easy to talk to. The room itself is beautifully and uniquely appointed. It was a wonderful and relaxing weekend and we look forward to going back in the future!

DavidSeptember 2015

This is our second stay with Brian and Colleen and we can't wait to visit again. Brian and Colleen are wonderful and gracious hosts and their home and guest house is such a special place. I highly recommend their guest house. I so enjoyed the amazing wood work and comfortable and relaxing space.

AMay 2016

My sister and I just stayed with Brian and Colleen for two nights and it was absolutely the escape we needed! Their unique guest house is beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable. The bathroom is even cooler than pictured, with a shower/tub that Brian built himself. They welcomed us to use their hot tub and swimming pool and we didn't pass up the opportunity to relax in both. The breakfast and coffee was delicious. Our only regret is not trying their homemade wine! We brought our own bottle, not realizing he would have some available for purchase. If you come, don't bring your own wine, just purchase a bottle of theirs! They offer a 10% discount too. We will absolutely stay again. Thanks Brian and Colleen!

LaurenAugust 2016

What a beautiful place and outstanding hosts A perfect getaway. I loved it beyond.

This space is a mini-fortress in an otherwise bustling urban setting. Novato is the northernmost city in Marin County, just a short drive to San Francisco, the wine country of Sonoma County, and the East Bay (Berkeley and Oakland). We are also a walk or less than 15-minute drive from several notable hiking and cycling routes, walking distance to downtown shopping, Whole Foods, and restaurants.
We live on a dead-end street with virtually no traffic. The night sky is full of stars, and the quiet is such that you can hear even the owls and coyotes in the hills. A lovely and private getaway for you and yours.
The furniture and appliances are new - a queen bed and a sofa which turns into a twin bed. Your children are welcome here. The small kitchen is equipped with a new mini-fridge, microwave, and a Keurig Vue. We provide coffee, tea, oatmeal, snacks, and homemade bread and jam for your breakfasts.
There is also a private patio for you to hang out on and a private entrance/exit. Parking on the street is free and plentiful. We would love to have you visit!
You are free to enjoy the entire apartment and the side patio of our home. Your entrance and exit is also private.
We are around, as we both work from home. In order to give you privacy, as well as ensure our own, there is not an expectation to interact. We are, however, available for any questions you have about where to eat, hike, etc. We're happy to help you enjoy your stay here and we do enjoy meeting guests. We leave that up to you.

This is a a great neighborhood with very little traffic. You can walk to the library, parks, shopping, restaurants, and grocery stores (Safeway, Lucky, CVS, Whole Foods - all within a mile of us). We're also very close to the freeway (but not so close you can hear it!), so you can get to where you want to go anywhere in the greater Bay Area very quickly. We're easy to find and navigate around as well. If you bring your bicycles, we are bike friendly! You can bring your bikes in and park them securely behind the locked gate just outside your apartment entrance.
Public transportation is not great in Marin County, sadly. Please consider renting a car.
As your apartment is in our home and not detached, we hear each other. The walls are not thin by far, but we're in a home together at the end of the day. Keep this in mind if you're looking for complete silence. As you'll see in our reviews, guests overwhelmingly note the quiet atmosphere. Feel free to reach out to us with questions or details. We honor open and friendly communication with our guests.

Sara met us shortly after we arrived and answered our questions. Her electronic communication was great. There was a surprise patio which was lovely. The bed was very firm, even for my husband who prefers a firmer bed. There was also a lot of noise from upstairs.

JaneJuly 2016

Marcus' and Sara's apartment is situated in a beautiful and quiet location and feels the more homely for it. The privacy this affords is excellent, allowing you to feel like you're hiding from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The apartment itself is well-furnished, ensuring all your needs are met and is perfectly clean and comfortable. The extras that Marcus has in place - snacks, drinks in the fridge, coffee pods and sweet, not forgetting the delicious organic toast and jam - show that he values his guests. The bathroom has shampoo, conditioner, body wash and many other nice touches. It really feels like a miniature home. However, this being Marcus' and Sara's home, if you're susceptible to noise, you can clearly hear everything from your room, be it footsteps - the floors are wooden - to the toilet flushing (loudly), conversations and other household related tasks. Whilst it's not a problem during the day, it was for us at night. Numerous times after eleven in the evening, we were woken up by the aforementioned noises, leaving us tired the following morning. Given all the positives, it is the only misgiving we had, but an honest review should reflect everything.

GeoffreyJune 2016

Very nice and quiet neighborhood. Everything was provided in the studio, including coffee and jam.

ThierryOctober 2016

This is a lovely private space that allowed us to spend time visiting while at the same time offering a quite place to relax. The space was a described with a nice private garden space. We felt very welcomed and it was great to have coffee and some supplies! Sara was available for questions and quick to respond to questions.

DenaJune 2016

This place is fantastic. My girlfriend and I found this studio was perfect for us as it is quiet, clean, peaceful, and beautiful. We enjoyed everything about it, including waking up to the birds chirping, and the privacy that Sara and Marcus gave us, while still checking in thru email to make sure our needs were being met. Although it is a part of their house, it really felt like a home away from home for us, and it was as if we had our own apartment. We met Marcus at the very end of our stay and he was extremely kind and happy that we had such a nice visit. If you are looking for privacy and peacefulness in a great location just north of San Francisco, I highly recommend staying here.

Everything was exactly as advertised. You can tell that Sara & Marcus want to go one step ahead on the guest experience; a lot of nice additional details. They were answering our questions right away and helping us every time they had the chance. Nice family, nice neighborhood, very nice studio and I loved the cat's visit the first day (because we allowed him; otherwise he couldn't have entered).

LuzSeptember 2016

This was our first airbnb experience and also the first stop after arriving on a flight from NZ. We really loved the location- it's quiet and surrounded by many beautiful homes. It was a great place to start USA with. Communication was great and we were left in peace and quiet, which suited us fine to enjoy the experience untroubled. The bed was really nice and comfortable. I'd definitely stay here again.

AndrewAugust 2016

Tony was an amazing host and a really cool guy! The house was beautiful and the room we stayed in had the most comfortable bed ever. A wonderful experience overall!

SarahSeptember 2016

I got a second chance to stay at Tony's beautiful home. He's a great host and the cabin in his back yard is like an oasis to a traveler on the road. Highly recommended.

Super amazing! Tony was a perfect host, he was attentive and all communications were very good.

MartinSeptember 2016

Tony was a fantastic host. He made me feel extremely welcome and was a pleasure to talk to. He even gave me a bag full of fresh apples straight from his apple tree as a leaving gift. The house and guest cottage are charming and beautiful. The neighborhood is safe and quiet. The bed is one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept on. Would highly recommend.

MikaJuly 2016

This was a wonderful experience. Tony was the most gracious host! A beautiful cottage, in a quiet, beautiful neighborhood. Slept like a log and will definitely be back for future conferences.

What a great experience! Thank you for sharing your place with us and helping us out on such a short notice. Really appreciated the water and coffee... and we are still thinking about how comfy the bed was!

DerekAugust 2016

We had a fantastic stay in Novato. Jon and Dawn were wonderful hosts and the place was very comfortable. The bed were cozy, the sheets were soft, and we had all that we needed for a comfortable nights stay. We had great proximity to the city and other local attractions. The biggest drawback was trying to park on the busy residential street but that is out of their hands. I would definitely recommend a stay in Novato with Jon and Dawn when you are in the area.

LynetteJuly 2016

Wonderful location, great place to take a night stroll in. Very spacious, clean and tidy place. Close to the city as well. I would definitely recommend stopping by Jon & Dawn's air bnb for a relaxing getaway!

FernandaAugust 2016

This is a very clean and quiet place to stay. The hosts were easy to communicate with and the place is stocked with the essentials (coffee, shampoo, soap, etc). It is in a residential neighborhood and relatively close to many wonderful things like wine country, Muir Woods, beaches, and San Fransico. We would return again.

PennyAugust 2016

Jon & Dawn's place was just as advertised. Very nice place to stay for the weekend or longer.

RayAugust 2016

Jon and Dawn were wonderful hosts. They set us up nicely, ensured we were "in the know" about the neighborhood, and were very friendly and engaging. The neighborhood is very residential, and that was perfect for us to enjoy the tons of singing birds every night and morning. Location was close to restaurants, downtown Novato, walking trails and the bay. Thanks Jon and Dawn for a fun holiday weekend!

KayJuly 2016

Jon & Dawn were extremely kind, prompt and courteous. They communicated very well and were very understanding when it arrival time changed. We were a group of 4 on an week long vacation and this was our second airbnb we stayed at. Jon & Dawn's home reminded us a lot of a cottage being situated in a quiet and serene area. We enjoyed having board games, the kitchenette and cable. It's recommended you have a vehicle as Novato itself is a smaller town and as such stores, food and homes are given more space. It was a pleasure staying and we highly reccomend to those whom are looking for a nice, quiet change to the busy city if you're visiting San Francisco!

The apartment is in a lovely Tutor home overlooking the Petaluma river. We are minutes away from Sonoma Raceway, Sonoma, Napa, Point Reyes and San Francisco. Hiking, beach walks, fabulous food and wine!!!
It is perfect for a couple.

Super friendly host and house! Margaret was very accommodating, we would have like to spend more time at the house- it's a home away from home for sure, but the views here are much better!

JosiahMay 2016

Margaret, Mark, and Lola (their lovable boxer) couldn't have been friendlier and more welcoming. Mark gave us a tour of the place when we first arrived, including the amazing view from the deck. Both Mark and Margaret were easy to talk to and responsive to any questions and requests we had. Lola introduced herself and hung out with me while I was relaxing on the deck. It felt like we were staying with a cool Aunt and Uncle in the suburbs. The place itself had everything we needed and the bed is nice and comfy. My wife appreciated the vanity station in the bedroom when prepping for the event we were attending. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore Novato or just to get away and relax.

ReidJune 2016

Margaret made us feel extremely welcome!

LawrenceJuly 2016

We had a wonderful, comfortable and relaxing stay here. Margaret was accommodating and the perfect host in ensuring that we had a very pleasant stay. The location was a great base to explore the area. The space had comprehensive and spacious facilities (plus private entrance and parking) within a peaceful setting - and we would certainly recommend this as a place to stay.

VictoriaJune 2016

We loved this place! Margaret and her husband were very nice, made sure we had everything we could possibly need. It was our home base for a weekend in the Sonoma valley. Their dog was a sweetheart as well. The place was very clean, quiet and relaxing. The deck is amazing! We will definitely stay there again. Thanks again Margaret!

DanaJuly 2016

Beautiful home and setting, we loved our short stay and are looking forward to staying again!

BrennaSeptember 2015

Margaret and Mark were very welcoming. We really enjoyed their beautiful patio view while enjoying wine and cheese. It was about a 30$ uber ride into Sonoma to meet our wine tour, worth it to enjoy wine country without needing to be a DD. Margaret was very quick to respond to messages.

ChelseaAugust 2016

Margaret and Mark were great hosts. We wouldn't have had the wonderful experience had it not been for their hospitality. They were incredibly friendly and easygoing. I would 100% recommend staying with them!

JohannesApril 2016

Colin was a great host. Immediately responsive at time of booking, and very accommodating on my arrival date. The house was perfect and in a really great area. He was friendly and welcoming.

ShelbyAugust 2016

Super nice host, quiet home, cute cat

CarolFebruary 2016

Colin was very accommodating of a late evening arrival time after my long drive from Oregon. The room was neat and clean with a full bathroom just down the hall. The location is somewhat "out of the mainstream" which for me was just fine. It's on a quiet cul de sac that was very quiet at night. Colin and I had good conversations during my stay. I recommend Colin's quiet ranch style house. It's in Marin county, 10 minutes from downtown Novato and 30 minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge.

Joseph July 2016

Colins house was warm clean friendly ~

trishApril 2016

Love Colin. Super quiet. He's got great friends. And his place is crazy clean.

CarolMarch 2016

Colin was very welcoming when I arrived, (and made careful provision for me to enter in case he was not home), and was very responsive to my needs. The location was even better tha I expected - the peaceful, beautiful, rural surroundings just what I sought. Inside was spacious uncluttered, but with a warm and personal homelike atmosphere - not unnecessarily immaculate, but comfortable and functional. Bathroom next door to my room felt like my own and the shower was great.

JeanneNovember 2016

Colin is a very kind person and left the key for me as he was out. The bed was very cosy with flannel sheets and down comforter. Private bath next to bedroom. Colin and Elsa were very hospitable and comfortable to be with and we shared coffee and experiences in travel. Summer the cat payed visits and was not intrusive. The weather was perfect for November. There are also some great programs on Netflix. I would recommend staying with Colin for great value.

Conveniently located in Novato, just 10 minutes to Sears Point Raceway and 20 minutes to the beautiful wine country. Guests will have a private bedroom & bathroom and are welcome to use the salt water pool with waterfall and hot tub. Please keep in mind we do not heat the pool in the winter..... The backyard is gated and perfect for someone looking for a little privacy. Will not accommodate more than 2 guests and no pets. Perfect for the traveling couple.

The guest room is located on the south side of the house, off the kitchen. The guestroom, bathroom, kitchen & family room have a set a double french doors which provide the perfect amount of privacy from the north side of the house, where the host resides (we will not be bumping into one another). The guest room has large windows (shades and curtains) with beautiful garden views out the bedroom window. From the family room, you will see the pool with a waterfall an hot tub. Quite the serene accommodations!
Guest are welcome to use the Refrigerator to store snacks and enjoy the family room which are conveniently located on the south end of the house, next to the guest room. At your request, I will provide a light continental breakfast including coffee, muffins and hard boiled eggs. Additionally, guest are welcome to enjoy the salt water pool and hot tub, which are accessible through the family room. Once again the pool is not heated in the winter..... The laundry room is also located on the south end of the house and guest are welcome to use the washer/dryer. (One load please)
I am very active and enjoy keeping busy so I will be available when needed and happy to provide recommendations on local restaurants & activities but will otherwise, provide guest with privacy.

The Rush Creek neighborhood is comprised of single family homes on lots of approximately one or more acres with access to many trails for hiking or mountain biking. Downtown Novato is just a short drive; filled with all the fan favorites (Starbucks, Whole Foods, Trader Joes & etc.) as well as boutique shopping and local eateries.
We are just a five minute drive from Hwy 101, and about 15 minutes to Sears point Raceway and about 20 minutes from the wine county. Depending on traffic, San Francisco is about 40 minutes South. Bus stops are within walking distance (about a mile) as well as the Smart Train.
The house has a two car garage (I park my vehicle on the right side garage) and ask that guest park their vehicle on the left side of the driveway. There is one dog on the property (Ivory) who is very friendly and tame. She primarily stays outside when the weather is nice but does roam around the house when inside. I am happy to keep the dog on the north end of the house (as much as possible) for those guest who are not partial to dogs.

We felt very welcome and hit it off right away. The home was amazing and we could not be more pleased. Merrilee made coffee and had food for us and it was attention that was sincere. Highly recommend and thanks again!

A car is needed.

The house was well prepared and we'll appointed. The location worked out great for our group of 8 to spend some time in San Francisco, Napa, and Sonoma. It is fairly central to our destinations. The neighborhood was residential. Tbis is not a vacation community. The upstairs master suite was very nice and comfortable. The 3 downstairs bedrooms were adequate. The back patio was nice too for morning coffee or for a bottle of wine in the evenings. I would stay here again.

The house and property are gorgeous. It was the perfect place for quiet family time. There was one minor issue, but Jason handled it quickly and like a pro :)

DaraMay 2016

The host was very quick to respond to messages before, during and after our stay. Entry instructions and house manual were thorough but we would have liked some advice on how deep the water was and whether there were life jackets anywhere as we didn't let our children go in the canoe due to this. The house was beautiful and so relaxing, some bits of broken crockery and a broken coffee pot but no major concerns. The views were amazing and the 30 minute drive to SF was an easy one. Definately recommend.

Charry was super communicative and even adjusted our check in to be more accommodating! She walked us through the space, which was beautiful and even nicer than the pictures show it to be. There was snacks and coffee/tea available. Everything was clean and easily accessible. We had our own entrance but Charry was nice enough to open her doors for us (and chat for a bit!) so we can come in and out easier. This is a great place, would definitely recommend for others!

Great place. Quiet. Clean. Private. Charry was very friendly

A spacious and beautiful room very close to where I was starting my new internship. The room was almost over complete (in a positive way) and even training equipment. The host is really nice and takes good care of you, even providing delicious food and drinks. In short, it was a very pleasant stay and if I could, I would stay again.

KevinMay 2015

Cozy, Comfy, and Clean. Charry will take care of you.

JesusNovember 2015

Charry's room was exactly what I'd hoped for. Clean and private and very homey. The bed was more comfortable than my bed at home. Charry's husband checked me in and gave me directions to the nearby trail along water which is part of the Bay Trail. I had a beautiful sunset run just a five minute walk from the room. I recommend this room to anyone looking for a quiet, private place.

SandyAugust 2016

My husband and I stayed at Charry's for the weekend to attend a wedding. A few days before, Charry texted me with pictures of her place and how to enter the room, which was super helpful. The place itself is very spacious, and was more than enough room for the both of us. It was also very clean, and there were nice touches all over. Charry was also generous to allow us to park on her driveway. Would definitely recommend her place to anyone!

Our adorable retro-style trailer is ready for you! Unique and fun, situated perfectly in beautiful Marin County less than 30 minutes to San Francisco, Wine Country, beaches and the Redwoods. A sweet, private space in an adorable neighborhood!

Are you ready for a "Glamping" Adventure? The Little Red Retreat is located in an adorable neighborhood in Novato. Your private entrance behind a gate reveals our adorable retro-style trailer complete with private patio and bistro table. Full size bed comfortably sleeps two. Additional fold out bed is great for a child or a smaller adult. Our little red hide-away is best for those who are not SUPER tall. :)
Private bathroom is enclosed inside the Little Red Retreat. RV-style toilet/shower combo. It's tiny and requires a little more finesse than a bathroom in your house but it's a big improvement from camping :)
Two burner stove, refrigerator, coffee maker, microwave, and CD player seal the deal; all the comforts of home. Keep in mind, this is an RV so it won't feel just like a hotel or home, but we think it's a lot of fun :)
We also have two great beach cruiser bikes for you to explore the neighborhood!
IMPORTANT CHECK-IN INFORMATION: we ask guests to give us a one hour window of when you will arrive. Since we aren't a regular hotel, there isn't always someone waiting at the check-in desk :). We are very flexible but also appreciate not waiting around all day or evening for you :). We can almost always work with your schedule.
We are a busy family and will give you your privacy. Of course, we would also LOVE to give you advice on great restaurants, fun day-trips, or anything else you'd like help with.

Our adorable cul-de-sac is a throwback to neighborhoods of days-gone-by. We are minutes to beautiful walking trails and surrounded by majestic trees. A truly peaceful and quiet getaway.
We are a 10-15 minute walk to bus stop and other public transportation.
We also have two bicycles for exploring the neighborhood or hitting up some of our neighborhood restaurants, bakeries, and coffee shops.

Our hostess met us upon arrival and helped us into the camper and gave us a tour, so we would know where everything was. She was delightful and made sure we knew how to contact her in case we had any questions. The description was extremely accurate. The camper was magnificently clean and very comfortable. Everything was decorated beautifully, with great care and detail. There was a lovely homemade breakfast left for us of local granola and yogurt made by the hostess herself! The location of the camper was very private and quiet. The neighborhood was lovely and quiet and located very close to downtown. We could not have asked for a more wonderful evening and yummy breakfast with coffee in the morning!

The perfect honeymoon getaway with so many personal touches. Gina made things so special. We would totally recommend this to anyone looking for a romantic and cozy place to stay in the SF/Napa area.

Gina & Bryan were great. They definitely made me feel welcome by greeting me on arrival, giving me a tour with instructions for the trailer, adding my name to the coffee mug and adding a welcome sign with my name. The neighborhood was a quite residential area but withing walking distance of downtown.

We only stayed one night but wished we were able to stay longer to enjoy everything that was offered to us. We would definitely come back and stay at the Little Red Retreat!

KaraJuly 2016

What a charming overnight! My husband and I spent our anniversary here to get out of the city. It was lovely. Very sweet personal touches that made our stay memorable. Like other reviews mention it is small. My husband is 5'9" and his hair touched the ceiling. We did sleep very comfortably, enjoyed a hot shower and appreciated the air conditioning. Gina and her husband were very kind and were great communicators and we arranged for arrival. We would highly recommend a night's stay here. Bring a favorite CD or two as there is a CD player. It was a fun experience.

San Francisco, wine country, and the beach - my place is near them all. Public transportation to San Francisco is nearby. You’ll love my place because it combines the best of a small town with a walkable downtown and access to the big city in one direction, wine country in the other direction, and the hikes and beaches of West Marin (for which you'll want to have a car). My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, and business travelers.

This cottage is 120 years old, with charming beadboard walls, large windows, and high ceilings.
Your bedroom is yours. The bathroom, kitchen, living room, and back porch are shared spaces. There is a piano that you are welcome to play.
I enjoy orienting travelers to the Bay Area. Let me know what you're interested in doing, and I can share local favorites, too. If you prefer less interaction, just let me know. I enjoy the occasional conversation but do not expect to visit with you a lot.

Public buses for Marin County and San Francisco are available within one block.
My place is in a working downtown, with trains, trucks, and buses nearby. It's great for access to public transportation, cafes, groceries, a bookstore, parks. But be prepared for some noise from trains, trucks, and neighbors.

The location is great - all of downtown Novato is an easy walk away. 2 Blocks from Dr. Insomniac's!! Valerie was a great host, space is very comfortable. It is on the second floor if that's a problem for anyone. Two single beds - wasn't a problem travelling with my son but just to be aware of.

Natasha was a gracious host who provided me with accurate (!) directions to the food store which I requested. Max was welcoming as well. The bed was beautifully made and comfortable. Everything.was clean. I liked having my own bathroom and I especially appreciated being able to use the kitchen during my stay.
